Cherokee has been developed for the production of high quality fruit in open field and shaded production. The medium-large sized fruit has a smooth surface and shallow shoulders and are bright red when ripe. Plants have a taller growth habit and are suitable for production in areas where Tomato spotted wilt is a problem and trellising is used. Cherokee has high resistance to Tobacco mosaic (TMV), Pepper mild mottle races 1, 2 and 3 (PMMoV: 1, 2, 3) and Bacterial leaf spot 1-3 and intermediate resistance to Tomato spotted wilt (TSWV).<\/p>\n

Outstanding Qualities<\/strong>
\nMedium-large sized, blocky fruit
\nDark Green turning to bright red
\nIntermediate resistance to\u00a0TSWV
\nVigorous growth habit
\nHigh quality fruit<\/p>\n

Special varietal requirements<\/strong>
\nBy transplanting young seedlings (2 true leaves) and removing flowers of the first 3 \u2013 4 nodes, plants are able to develop strong root systems and good canopies allowing for long season production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":560,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_cat":[27,35,18],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-550","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-hybrid","7":"product_cat-pepper-hybrid","8":"product_cat-seed","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=550"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=550"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/natseeds.co.zw\/farmshop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
